she rocked rings on fingers
because lameness lingered
in potential suitors
she thought that flashing shine
would change their minds
but
real players knew that persistence paid dividends
so they pressed harder when they thought
that she could either be bought
or pursuaded to make a lifetime of mistakes
they werent concerned with her heartache
or what was in her mind
they only saw the potential to turn water into wine
to turn no into maybe
maybe into yes
and yes
into a morning of regret
they had no regret
no conscience
no shame
and the shine she wore only protected her against lame
she thought she was past game
but no one ever told her that not all of us grow up
still using highschool tatics
pressing unpopular chicks for target practice
lies covered in truth to hide the scars of ugly
sometimes pretty words can cover actions that are so ugly
either the church or the club
she tried both paths
and neither was a perfect fit
lame was still lame speaking that same lame shit
she being single attracted married men looking for a way out
but she pretending to be married attracted single men just wanting to play out
or looking for a pay out
and not to mention the other side that was trying to wash the gay out
she caught it from fake chicks
pretending to be cake chicks
talking about how they would break chicks
different package but the same tricks
and this is what she had to deal with
she was sexy and single
she wanted to mingle
just wanted to dance, have a good time and not be stressed
but a night out meant lames with lame game in a full court press
wrinkling her dress
blowing smoke in her fresh
creating a mess
just to see how she would test
but she rocked her flyest fit
and prayed for the best
dear GOD
teach these lames that my name aint boo or bitch
and tell them just because im fly dont me that they can talk bat shit
or reach out and touch this
tonight im doing me
the best that I can
im not looking for a man
or some type of payment plan
just a good time
and not a one night stand
not a one night man
if any thing at all
maybe just a slow dance
some one to hold hands
and a one life plan
in your name i pray
amen
and
amen
